I mean specifically whatever determines what applications show up in GNOME Software. Whether that is supported in the xdg-app core or something that is layered over the top, whether it's a web service or a config file in an RPM - we need to figure that out.

It solves the problem if you are willing to define font installation as a per-user thing. We could have a /var/lib/fonts for system-wide installation and just say that you install fonts by dropping them there. You won't share fontconfig caches between users or even between apps, but that's already an issue with /usr/share/fonts as you are mounting them. - Owen -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
